Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Sudden Incident at the Base
Gao Zhenzhen followed closely behind David and the others, her brows tightly knit. Could these people possibly be talking about her? Do they even know who she is? If it weren’t for Lin Tianhui’s sudden return, she would still be the highest-ranking healer at the Base Hospital!
She had thought that since Lin Tianhui hadn’t returned for two months, she might have died out there. Yet, she had come back unscathed!
The blue-eyed young man ahead clearly understood the murmurs of the crowd. He held back a laugh, but his shoulders trembled slightly. The people here were indeed far more interesting.
"Qiao, do you think they’ll come back with us?"
As David walked to the ward where they stayed, he asked.
"I used to be confident I could persuade them, but now that I’ve seen their Captain, I’m not so sure anymore,"
The blue-eyed young man, Qiao, shook his head as he spoke, but... They had inquired a lot this month, and heard that the Heart Talk Team had accepted a mission from F city’s base for 100,000 Crystal Cores. If they offered more Crystal Cores, would they be tempted?
"Oh, come on, Qiao, their captain is just a pregnant woman, merely a pregnant woman. She’s meant for childbearing, what else can we expect from her?"
Another man spoke with displeasure. He didn’t understand why Qiao was more polite to her than to anyone else. In his opinion, that so-called SS-ranked captain was just a pregnant woman.
"Reese, shut up,"
Qiao said without turning around, his tone full of reproach as if Reese had spoken blasphemy.
"Okay, Qiao,"
The man named Reese instantly didn’t dare to say anymore, and continued to follow closely...
Outside the Base Hospital, Su Jin and the two others were slowly walking toward the villa. It was already time for Lin Tianhui to finish work. She had deliberately scheduled Su Jin’s prenatal checkup for the afternoon so that it would coincide with the end of her shift. What she hadn’t expected was for Gao Zhenzhen to bring a scene directly to them.
"What is wrong with that woman? Why didn’t she give us a heads-up? Who brings a crowd of men to wait outside someone’s checkup room?"
Huang Yunxiang finally couldn’t help but complain. Luckily, Xiao Jin had just dominated the other party with her aura; if it had been her, she would have been flustered and embarrassed in front of so many people.
"I heard she is thinking of going back to Y country with those people. They said she is the most impressive healer they’ve ever seen,"
Lin Tianhui said with a shrug, not seeming to care.
"Isn’t the most impressive one you, sister-in-law? Oh right, you were not at the base at the time,"
Huang Yunxiang suddenly realized.
"Mom, stay away from that woman,"
Su Jin frowned and said, recalling something when she heard Lin Tianhui mention Gao Zhenzhen’s name.
"I’d love to keep my distance from her, Xiao Jin, did you notice something?"
Lin Tianhui asked.
"The group that came from B city to pick up Han Jin, there was someone named Xu Mingliang among them. He warned us to be careful of a healer at the hospital named Gao Zhenzhen. I only just remembered it,"
Su Jin remembered when they were trapped in the River Beach Tower with Xu Mingliang and others, waiting for Lu Hao and Lian Jiyue to level up. Xu Mingliang had mentioned this person during a chat, asking if the Heart Talk Team had offended a healer named Gao Zhenzhen. At the time, Su Jin had no recollection of her at all.
"Don’t worry, she’ll only be talking behind our backs. I’ve seen through her long ago,"
Lin Tianhui was somewhat angry, but her personality had always been to avoid and keep a respectful distance from such petty people. It was the same when she dealt with Su Xiangmei before because she always felt petty people’s bad luck could be contagious.
Besides, she was currently so thrilled by the surprise of Xiao Jin having twins that she couldn’t get upset at all.
"That’s right, besides, she can’t beat us, and we can avoid her if she causes trouble,"
Huang Yunxiang still admired her sister-in-law’s temperament very much; a woman who didn’t get angry appeared open-minded and youthful. She should really learn more from her.
The three of them continued chatting while walking forward, but then they heard a loud bang from not far away.
"Does it sound like it’s from the dormitory building?"
Lin Tianhui said, looking in the direction of the sound.
"Huh? Isn’t that Lian Jiyue and Qiqi? They’re running over there?"
Huang Yunxiang thought she was seeing things. Why were the two of them running so quickly?
"It’s them, no mistake about it, let’s go see,"
Su Jin also saw a tall and a shorter figure running in that direction. Could it be...?
...
On the third floor of the dormitory, Lian Zongren had just finished laying out a table full of food. Although many of the dumplings were overcooked, the spread of large chunks of meat and the bowlful of balls that could barely be called Kanto stew didn’t look too bad, and at least the meal was quite lavish by post-apocalyptic standards.
Lian Zongren nodded in satisfaction. Today was the day he had arranged for the Lian brothers to come over for a meal, and now all that was missing was the arrival of the two brothers.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion and the noise from next door made him freeze.
Why did he seem to hear Moli’s voice?
He ran to the door in leaps and bounds, seeing a line of people in uniform on the corridor. Were those people from the S City Base’s Guard Squad?
And in the neighboring room, whose door had been blasted away, were Lian Ze and Moli being restrained?!
What was going on?
How did Lian Ze and the others end up being pinned down next door?
"Yo, quite the commotion we have here! Just catching up with my nephews, what’s this meaning of this, S City Base’s Guard Squad?"
Han Yizhou narrowed his eyes and asked Xu Shi, who had taken the lead in breaking down the door.
Xu Shi was not the least bit flustered; he had been keeping a close watch on several people in this apartment for some time.
Just a moment ago, upon seeing Lian Ze and Moli being forcibly covered and dragged into the room by the people inside, he had immediately led his team to break in.
"I’m really sorry about that. I am on a mission to protect both Lian Ze, and seeing them being abducted, I just came straight in. However, it seems to me that they are not here to reminisce willingly, are they?"
Xu Shi answered with a cold laugh.
"Han Yizhou! What do you want to do, let them go now!"
Lian Zongren also shouted, why was Han Yizhou here? What did he want to do with Lian Ze?
Han Yizhou frowned; damn it, their plan was completely ruined now.
They had recently realized that the people from S City Base seemed to have their sights on them, which is why he and Huo Qi planned to act quickly and decisively, taking Lian Ze and Jiang Yixiao away first.
They had only exchanged a few words with Lian Ze just today, and they were already discovered by the people from S City Base. Were they being watched that closely?
As for Lian Zongren, their plan was for Chen Yongliang and his team to deal with him after they left, but now the plan was completely exposed.
If that’s the case, then they would have to resort to force. He hoped the car downstairs ready to intercept them was already prepared.
